Claire Bennet (Character: Lana Langautophoenix)

History:For the TL;DR version, click here (http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Lana_Lang).
Lana Lang was born and raised in Smallville, Kansas. She had two loving parents up until the day of the meteor shower. She was three years old the day that both of her parents were killed by the meteors when they crashed to earth, bringing Kal-El with them. Her aunt, Nell, adopted her and she became the poster-child of the tragedy, earning herself a place on the cover of Time magazine because she was apparently the saddest-looking child in Smallville that they could find. Taking a piece of the meteor rocks -- aka kryptonite -- she forged herself a bead for a necklace to remind herself that her parents were always with her. Morbid, perhaps, but it served as a good plot device for why she and Clark rarely got to speak and why she was this untouchable ideal for him.
When Lana was ten, she tried to run away to Metropolis because she felt like she was a burden on her aunt. Nell went to retrieve her and Lana asked if she regretted adopting her. Nell dissuaded her concerns and brought her home. In seventh grade, she skinned her knee and passed out when she saw the blood, but she's since gotten over her squeamishness it appears, especially since in season 1 she runs the blood drive.
She settled into a normal-ish life that involved a lot of horseback riding, visiting the graves of her parents daily, cheerleading because she believed it was what her mother would have wanted, and dating Whitney Fordman, the quarterback. However, she learned while digging through some of her mother's things partway through freshman year that her mother despised cheerleading, and promptly quit in an attempt to find herself. Finding herself led her to try and get a job at the Beanery, a local coffee shop where most of the kids from Smallville High hung out, but she turned out to be the worst waitress possible and wound up getting quickly fired. her aunt apparently owned the theater that her parents had met in, though, and when she tried to sell it, Lana instead came up with a business proposition to turn it into a competition coffee shop with the help of Lex Luthor. Lex and Lana entered a business partnership and they created the Talon, which Lana would manage and where she would gradually learn to stop sucking as a waitress.
During her freshman year, she and Whitney went through some serious relationship trouble that came to a head when Whitney's father died, motivating him to join the Marines and ship out to boot camp to ~save the world~ as Lana would put it every single time she talked about it. While her feelings for Whitney became more complicated, so did her feelings for Clark. The two grew closer and she very nearly cheated on Whitney with him a few times. However, Clark wound up getting together with Chloe, and Lana spent Spring Formal going with Whitney to send him off to boot camp. On her way home, a tornado hit. Lana got caught in it and Clark bailed on Chloe and the dance to come save Lana, though she was unconscious and couldn't witness his heroics and become aware of his powers. In fact, Clark denied ever being involved at all, though Lana didn't believe him and came to grow frustrated with his constant keeping of secrets.
Her feelings towards Clark continued to grow, though, and she decided to break up with Whitney, feeling it was her only option because while he deserved to know someone was there for him waiting, she couldn't do it as a girlfriend, just a friend. She sent him a video tape, which was how they'd been corresponding, and went a long time without hearing back from him. Aunt Nell decided she wanted to move to Metropolis with her boyfriend, but Lana refused to go, claiming that Smallville was her home. Chloe and her father allowed Lana to stay with them, and while at first it brought the two girls closer, it eventually began to breed problems when they both discovered their mutual love for Clark wasn't going anywhere.
